Bovine (Cow) SAA ELISA Kit

Bovine Serum Amyloid A (SAA) is an acute-phase protein produced mainly by the liver in response to infection, injury, or inflammation in cattle. Like its human counterpart, bovine SAA plays a key role in the innate immune response, including recruitment of immune cells to sites of inflammation, modulation of lipid metabolism, and regulation of tissue repair processes. Its concentration in the blood can rise rapidly—often several hundred-fold—following inflammatory stimuli, making it a sensitive biomarker for detecting both acute and chronic inflammatory states in bovine species. Elevated SAA levels have been associated with mastitis, respiratory infections, and systemic inflammatory conditions in cattle, as well as with stress and metabolic disorders.

Bovine SAA ELISA is a laboratory assay that quantitatively measures SAA concentrations in bovine serum, plasma, or milk. In research settings, it is used to study the dynamics of the acute-phase response in cattle, investigate immune system function, and evaluate the impact of infections, vaccination, or management practices on systemic inflammation. Researchers also use bovine SAA measurements to explore the molecular mechanisms linking inflammation to productivity, reproduction, and overall health in livestock.

In clinical and veterinary practice, bovine SAA ELISA serves as a practical tool for early detection and monitoring of inflammatory conditions in cattle. It is especially valuable in identifying subclinical mastitis, respiratory disease, or post-surgical infections before clinical signs become obvious. By tracking SAA levels over time, veterinarians can assess disease severity, monitor the response to treatment, and make informed management decisions to improve herd health and productivity.
